Letter: Detroit bailout the right thing to do

The one thing Michiganders need to know about the 10-bill package for Detroit that was announced last week is that it isn't a bailout; it's simply the right thing to do. This recovery plan is just the first step in making Michigan a stronger state. It is focused on helping the state's largest city make a comeback and includes more than just money. In addition to the $195 million the city will receive, a 7-member commission was established.

The hope for this oversight commission is that they will be successful in bringing Detroit back to its former glory by helping with financial decisions.

Everyone in the Midwest knows Detroit has its fair share of struggles, but with this recovery plan, Detroit will have the opportunity to thrive. If Detroit continues the comeback trend, it will be a city where businesses want to grow and where families are excited to live, and with this package, all of that is possible.
